Australia/MelbourneQuantitative Finance and Risk Analysis Symposium (QFRA 2026)
The ninth Symposium on Quantitative Finance and Risk Analysis (QFRA 2026) aims to further specialised and synergetic developments in both theory and practice.
Our symposium aims to bring experts and decision makers, who are from different disciplines but working on similar problems, together to share information and solve challenges through cross-fertilisation.
This event and subsequent publications will help transition intellectual discussions into robust frameworks for handling emerging vulnerabilities and risks, and provide the leadership and initiative required to respond to national and international financial crises.
Prof Michaelides has been a Professor of Finance at Imperial College Business School since September 2013. He is also a Research Fellow at CEPR (International Macroeconomics and Financial Economics Programmes). His research interests include household finance (for example, portfolio choice over the life cycle), asset pricing with heterogeneous agents and financial frictions, housing markets and topics in the intersection of macroeconomics and finance.
He has held visiting scholar positions at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and was a Wim Duisenberg Research Fellow at the European Central Bank (2012) and a senior researcher at the Central Bank of Cyprus (2009-2010).

He was also Head of the Department of Finance at Imperial College Business School between October 2014 and April 2021. He has been the school’s Director of Postgraduate Studies since September 2023.
